puking

I begin to believe that I shall not stop puking this pregnancy.

I am nearing 16 weeks now.Certainly the pukes have diminished in intensity and in frequency. But they continue. Every few days is a REALLY bad day, and I puke up something every couple of days. My child fetches me my "puke bucket" whenever I sit suddenly down on the floor and start breathing heavily. Today he was interested in the color of my puke. I had eaten blueberries. "MY puke is green," said the kid. "Well," I said, "today mine is purple."

I am sorry to burden you, readers, with my tales from the darker side of pregnancy. It's pretty self-absorbed and whiny of me, I suppose. But then, I think women don't whine enough about pregnancy. Perhaps if there were more whining, people who have never been pregnant would understand what an incredible burden it is. Then again, they'll probably just dismiss me as a pathetic whiner. Oh well.
